Stutters are annoying. A friend asked if there is any quick fix to stutters since he has fed up with the endless tuning of his system. Yes, just turn off all the traffic and you will see instant improvement. Actually, many videos found on the Internet are taking this trade-off approach to render a smooth screen display.
The fix is quick but certainly not a perfect solution.
FSX TIMES 
I had fsx steam installed and then i went back to boxed edition and i have never had so many crash to desktops especially using add on aircraft. I could really use some help on this.

Microsoft Flight Simulator X: Steam Edition has files and folders located in numerous locations on your computer system. Please note: You will need to ensure you have the option to show hidden folders enabled.
To perform a clean install you need to remove the following content and folders. Please remember to change [drive] to whatever hard drive you have installed the games to (this is usually the C drive)- furthermore, replace to your Windows user name.
• [drive]:\Program Data\Microsoft\FSX
• [drive]:\Users\\AppData\Local\Microsoft\FSX
• [drive]:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX
• In your Steam client, right click on the game and select ‘Uninstall’. A pop-up message should appear confirming that you want to proceed. Select Delete.
• Once done go to [drive]:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\FSX. Once here delete all of the content inside this folder and then the folder itself.
• Delete the “Microsoft Flight Simulator X Files” folder in “My Documents”, which can be found at [drive]:\Users\\Documents\Flight Simulator X Files. Again delete all of the content inside this folder followed by the folder itself.
Once you have deleted all of the above you can perform a clean install of Microsoft Flight Simulator X: Steam Edition by selecting ‘install’ from the Steam client whilst the game is selected.
This will also delete any third- party addons you have installed.

locking FPS to 20 in sim does a great job eliminating stutters for me
